Present studies on the sensitivity of the transcription process in rat cerebral hemispheres showed that the relative abundance and translation of free and bound poly (A)+ mRNAs in a reticulocyte mRNA-dependent system were reduced following 1 h and 4 h of ethanol or pentobarbital administration with free being affected to a greater extent than the bound poly (A)+ mRNAs. In addition, the energy-dependent nucleocytoplasmic transport of in vivo [3H]labeled nuclear RNA to surrogate cytoplasm was modified in response to ethanol exposure. The translocation of the labeled nuclear RNA fraction occurred only to the microsomal/ribosomal fractions of the cytoplasm, was stimulated by cyclic cAMP and abolished when the cytoplasm was depleted of its protein factors following streptomycin treatment, thereby establishing the translocated RNA as messenger RNA. It is concluded that the neural cell, in response to ethanol exposure, modifies the efficiency of nuclear processing and transport of mRNA. This nuclear restriction probably occurs at multi-levels during the post-transcriptional modification of mRNAs.

Thermo-responsive polymer is becoming a potential water purification and water harvesting material. To clarify the water diffusion characteristics, the desorption ratio of liquid water and water vapor for a poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) was researched by the multi-scale method. Firstly, macro and micro structures for the hydrogel with different water content were characterized.

Hemodialysis and bioartificial kidney (BAK), which mimic both physical and biological functions, can significantly impact chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Here we report on Hollow fiber membranes (HFMs) with enhanced separation of uremic toxins along with enhanced hemocompatibility and biocompatibility that also promote the growth of kidney cells. The improvement arises from the addition of titanium dioxide (0.

The rapid and efficient bone regeneration is still in unsatisfactory outcomes, demonstrating alternative strategy and molecular mechanism is necessary. Nanoscale biomaterials have shown some promising results in enhancing bone regeneration, however, the detailed interaction mechanism between nanomaterial and cells/tissue formation is not clear. Herein, a molecular-based inorganic-organic nanomaterial poly(citrate-siloxane) (PCS) is reported which can rapidly enhance osteogenic differentiation and bone formation through a special interaction with the cellular surface communication network factor 3 (CCN3), further activating the Wnt10b/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs) exhibit a unique interplay of high metabolic rates, specific chromatin architecture, and extensive transcriptional activity, making them particularly vulnerable to DNA damage. This necessitates an efficient DNA damage response (DDR) to prevent cerebellar degeneration, often initiated by PC dysfunction or loss. A notable example is the genome instability syndrome, ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), marked by progressive PC depletion and cerebellar deterioration.
